About this book

Are you Canada’s N^o1 Doodler? Enter the contest!

Tom Gates is back and things are better than ever! Well, sort of ...

Back to school, but it's not all bad. Sports Day, the school fair, and Tom's birthday are all coming up. And even better, his awful big sister Delia won't be at any of those events! On the downside, Granny Mavis is threatening to make his birthday cake. But on the other hand, Mr. Keen has asked Dogzombies to perform in front of the whole school! YEAH! Maybe they can even play at the school dance, too. How can the term turn out any less than seriously amazing?

Follow Tom on his third set of cheeky and doodle-tastic adventures in this Roald Dahl Funny Prize-winning series! Includes a doodle-filled glossary to help Canadian kids make sense of British terms (what IS a caramel wafer, anyway?).

Reviews

Praise for Tom Gates:

Winner, Waterstones Children's Book Prize, 2012

Winner, Red House Children's Book Award, 2012

Winner, Roald Dahl Funny Book Prize, 2011

"If you loved Wimpy Kid you'll love this!" —Educate Magazine

"It's easy to see why Pichon, who illustrates and writes children's books, won the Roald Dahl Funny Prize . . . Pichon's books are bursting with humour . . . all the elements of wit and cartoon and lettering come together in Tom Gates." —The London Telegraph

"The physical text is almost as interesting as Tom's pictures as the font changes to better illustrate the stories that Tom tells… a great book for reluctant readers. While girls will also enjoy this story, the pranks and ideas of Tom will be particularly appealing to boys. If readers have enjoyed the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" series, the "Tom Gates" series will likely be a success with them as well." —CM: Canadian Review of Materials
